Churchill's Secret Armies: War Without Rules: Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (Full Illustrated Version)

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Was principled gentleman Winston Churchill also the master of nasty tactics? You bet he was!
Winston Churchill had done it all. In the British Army, he had fought in India and Egypt, been under fire, and returned it; he'd killed the enemy.
In the Boer War, Churchill was captured, put in a PoW camp, and escaped, surviving behind enemy lines for weeks.
He'd invented tanks, floating harbors, grenade launchers; turns out Germans did the worst thing possible... they’d attacked Britain and made Churchill mad.
With his back to the wall in 1940, & Nazi invasion imminent, not only did Churchill use every trick in the book… with the uncovering of new WW2 secrets, it turns out he actually wrote the book! Literally!
Churchill’s Secret Armies is not a biography of the famous leader, that has been done before. Churchill's Secret Armies is a look at the fruits of his labor, the book discloses the plethora of special forces, units, and departments, Churchill formed to “get the job done”.
Including...
The "Auxiliaries"; the top-secret stay-behind British underground resistance force only now being owned-up to.
The "Tube Alloys" operation; the world's first nuclear weapon program.
The "Norwegian Independent Company"; the troops who broke Hitler's heavy water industry.
The "London Controlling Section"; the pioneers of deception technology throughout the war.
"Operation Pluto", D-day; the secret 1000 mile flexible pipeline that delivered fuel to the advancing allies.
And many, many others... I am still finding more, months after writing, and will update whenever necessary.
This was never a gentleman's war; this was innovation gone mad, original out-of-the-box thinking, sometimes backs-to-the-wall fighting-dirty, and Churchill was proving himself a master.
From the birth of the well-known British Commandoes to the obscure Cichociemni ...
From the code breakers at Bletchley Park to the men of the 712th Survey Flotilla …
Illustrated throughout with amazing photographs.
Churchill's Secret Armies is a page-turner for the history buff, and an absolute must-read for anyone who ‘thinks’ they know ‘all’ about World War Two.
